Fire Resistant Shades – Multi‑Standard Compliance

Fire safety is non‑negotiable in homes, workplaces, and public spaces. Our Fire Resistant Shades collection features window coverings that have been independently tested and certified to meet the most widely recognized flame retardancy standards: NFPA 701, NFPA 260, California Technical Bulletin 117‑2013, and ASTM E84 Class A. Whether you need shades for a hotel, hospital, school, senior living facility, or simply want the peace of mind that comes with enhanced fire protection, this collection delivers verified safety without compromising on style, light control, or operating convenience. We offer two distinct approaches to fire resistance: inherently flame‑retardant fibers (permanent, non‑migrating) and durable topical treatments (cost‑effective, certified). Available across all our product categories: roller, roman, cellular, zebra, and sheer shades. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with cordless, continuous cord loop, or motorized operation. Safety first, beauty always.

Multiple Fire Safety Standards – One Collection

Our Fire Resistant Shades are certified to meet one or more of the following standards, depending on the fabric selected:

  • NFPA 701 — Standard fire test for flame propagation of textiles and films; the most common requirement for commercial window coverings

  • NFPA 260 — Cigarette ignition resistance; widely used in hospitality and healthcare

  • California TB 117‑2013 — Flammability requirements for upholstered materials; often referenced in multi‑family housing

  • ASTM E84 — Class A (Flame Spread ≤ 25, Smoke Developed ≤ 450); applies to building materials and interior finishes

Not every fabric meets every standard—individual product pages list specific certifications.

Two Fire Resistance Technologies

  • Inherently Flame‑Retardant Fibers — FR additives are integrated into the polyester polymer during extrusion. Permanent, cannot wash off or degrade. Premium option available on select roller, cellular, and zebra fabrics.

  • Topical Flame‑Retardant Treatment — Fabric is immersed in an FR solution and cured. Durable for the life of the fabric when properly maintained. More affordable and available on all polyester fabrics.

Both technologies meet NFPA 701; inherent FR provides additional permanence.

Available Across All Shade Styles

  • Fire Resistant Roller Shades — All fabrics, all opacities; inherent FR or topical treatment

  • Fire Resistant Roman Shades — All fabrics, all opacities; topical treatment only

  • Fire Resistant Cellular Shades — Select single‑cell fabrics; topical treatment only

Ideal for Commercial & Multi‑Family Applications

  • Hotels & motels — Guest rooms and public spaces must meet strict fire codes

  • Multi‑family housing — Condos and apartments with code‑driven requirements

  • Schools & daycare centers — Child safety and institutional compliance

  • Corporate offices — Liability reduction and adherence to building standards

Care & Maintenance of Topical FR Fabrics

Topical flame‑retardant treatments are durable but can be compromised by improper cleaning. To maintain FR performance:

  • Do not dry clean — solvents can remove the FR treatment

  • Spot clean only with mild soap and water

  • Never machine wash or submerge

  • Vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment

Follow the care label included with your shade.

Certification Documentation

Each Fire Resistant Shade order includes a certificate of compliance listing the specific standards met. Full laboratory test reports are available upon request and are accepted by building inspectors, fire marshals, and facility managers.
